Congratulations to all the winners of 'The Rookies Choice Awards'. Results are up now.

It means a lot to know that you like the stories that I have written. Thank you to everyone who voted for me and to everyone who took part. I really enjoyed being a part of it.

I currently have two stories on the go - Welcome Back Copper and Accidents Don't Just Happen. Unfortunately, I am absolutely swamped with work and trying to get things done before going on vacation so I'm afraid I have no timeline for when the next chapters will come out. It seems my mind is just too full right now. So sorry. They will be finished though...without a doubt.

AU - [T]here was this indescribable pull telling him that it was time to get back. He couldn't define it and didn't really understand it, but he actually felt hopeful about going back, as if something might be waiting for him. He couldn't imagine what that would possibly be, but the feeling was there and it gave him that added incentive he needed . . .

Set a few months after 2x08. Andy decides it's time for her to get her life back on track, time for a fresh start. A take on how Andy and Sam might have come to be together had the UC op never existed, but with the fun drama that we're used to. (Written in Andy and Sam's POV but featuring all the usual characters)

"... She still hasn't stopped feeling the thrilled trepidation that comes when you finally have exactly what you want, only to realize just how great a responsibility it imposes." Sam/Andy, season 5-centric. One-shot.

Zelena casts her spell, leaving Emma stranded in what appears to be the past, but she isn't sure if it's some elaborate curse, or if it's real, actual Back-to-the-Future-I-have-to-get-my-parents-together back in time — and either way, she needs help.

He knows exactly what he wants to ask her. All he has to do is find exactly the right moment. Or not. (Set in my Freaky Friday universe, this is for the lovely tersaseda who wanted another bite of the apple, so to speak.) CAPTAIN SWAN AU

AU. A year after their break up, Neal is back in town and determined to get Emma to speak to him. She wants to show him that she doesn't want or need him back in her life, and reluctantly enlists Killian's help to do so.

In a miraculous feat of Murphy's Law, Emma ends up paired with Killian Jones for an English project - one of the few people at her school that she really, genuinely Does Not Like. It doesn't help that Neal's back in town. [High School AU, slow-build CaptainSwan] - COMPLETE -

It had been a year, almost to the day. One year. Out of the hundreds he had now lived. A drop, a moment really. Or that's how it should have felt, if there was anything remotely logical about it... Getting her memories back seemed impossible enough, but that is only the start... He said he always liked a challenge!

She knew it was Wednesday, because it had been Wednesday every morning for the last four days, and she was the only one who seemed to notice. AU for the end of 3.11; Regina stops the curse, but there are consequences. Captain Swan.

She hadn't seen him in five years. Five years since her parents had interrupted them when they both had been on the cusp on moving beyond just being friends. Five years of wondering if he ever thought of her or even cared anymore. Now it was her birthday and he was back, making her question everything. (Captain Swan AU, Lieutenant Duckling verse. One-Shot)

Emma is a princess in the Enchanted Forest. Killian works in the kitchens. They are best friends and Emma is desperately trying to convince herself that's all she feels towards him. Lieutenant Duckling (Young!Emma/Killian) AU. (Trigger warnings for assault/attempted rape)

Zoe is a medical student in New York and had never heard of Bluebell until her new neighbour, Lavon moved in. In this story, Lavon has a family tragedy that requires the help of an old friend from home...

"Because it's not enough for someone to know me," he says at last. "I don't think there's a point if someone's not you." Sam/Andy, with platonic appearances by Nick and Marlo; based on episodes through 4x07 and season-long promo clips. One-shot.

At the last second, Baelfire is pulled out of the portal, never going to the land without magic. And so, Princess Emma grows up with her parents. At the age of 18, after a fight with her parents, she runs to the dock, determined to have an adventure. Killian Jones fulfills her request, finding her adventurous spirit strikingly similar to the woman he's trying to avenge.

AU. One shot. Killian is perfectly content with his life - or so he thinks, until his girlfriend finds a new roommate who makes him question what is it that he really wants. Or really needs, for that matter.

A one-shot based in early season 4. More than ever, Andy feels like she really needs the stress relief from a workout. Being back on the streets has proven to be more difficult than she remembers. The gym, though? The gym is easy and predictable. Until she realizes Sam's there too.

It had been 54 weeks since she had dropped off the face of the planet, 378 days since she had ceased to be Andy McNally, 9,072 hours since she had been a police officer with the 15th division and 544,320 minutes since she had talked to the man she loved.

Emma likes to sleep with her window open. She never quite realized who she'd be inviting in. All things considered, however, Captain Hook showing up in her bedroom after midnight is hardly the worst of his offenses. Emma knows how to handle Hook. (AU post "Welcome to Storybrooke". Unapologetically Captain Swan.)

AU - McSwarek - They were married, now they're not. Sam's a cop, Andy's a nurse, and she's engaged to Luke. "Mom was going to tell me something last week, but then she had to pull some double shifts at the hospital, and I think she forgot." "And what 'thing' was she going to tell you?" Sam quirks, truly intrigued. "How you guys met."

What would have happened if Hook and Emma crossed paths prior to the massacre at the refugee camp? This fanfiction tells the story of two infinitely hurt and desolate people finding strength in each other, even after being on opposing ends more than once. Set after 2x01 Captain Swan. Rating changed, majority of the story takes place in Storybrooke.

When Emma abandoned Hook at the top of the beanstalk she had no idea just what path that decision might lead her down... straight to Neverland apparently. Never trust a Pirate Captain, especially when your survival might depend on it. Follows on from the Tallahassee episode 2x6. AU as of 2x8.

Prompt fic-Emma is a mermaid who haunts a vengeful and unwilling Killian in his dreams. He resents her presence, her appearance distracting him from his revenge. Until gradually he begins to appreciate their nightly routine. Anticipating her arrival each night, slowly his heart begins to heal with every tempting encounter they have. WATCH FOR THE TWIST! Originally posted on tumblr.

(Future-fic)/(Sequel to 8 Days of Boo) (Complete). The first 12 months of domesticity are some kind of bliss for Sam and Andy. They also are some other things. Story features guest appearances from the rest of the ensemble (including other pairings, i.e. the angsts of Peck). WARNING: This story contains some language, sexual references and other adult themes.

With Henry whisked away to Neverland, Emma's left feeling lost and broken. Unfortunately, she knows there's only one man who can help get her son back to safety. Hook. But before they can embark on the journey together they must first come to terms with what's between them, perhaps finding something they didn't realize they'd been seeking and healing each other in the process.

AU where Sam and Andy aren't cops. Andy bumps into Sam while he works at Alvarez Auto Body and they can't stop thinking about each other. How does their relationship evolve when they live different lives?

Sequel to Easing Tension. After Emma and Hook's one night stand they find that their relationship changes. They are no longer fighting all the time and are even acting more like friends, but Neal is still lurking around and wants Emma back. Emma begins to wonder if what happened between her and Hook was just easing tension or something more. AU - Now Complete

After returning to Storybrooke, Emma and Henry form a close relationship with Killian Jones/Captain Hook. After someone from her past comes to Storybrooke, Emma needs to make a decision as to which path she chooses to get to "Happily Ever After".

Tragedy strikes in Storybrooke. Lives are lost in a battle where many choose to defy the Dark One. But when Killian Jones steps forward to stem the tide and save those lives left, is there a power greater than the Fates themselves that can save him?

(One-shot) (Season 4 reunion speculations) Co-Written with @sourgummysharks. Months after McNally has left to go UC, Sam makes a feeble attempt to move forward with life. The only problem is fate, as per usual, appears to have other plans. Let the storms begin.

Prompted from fyesemmaandhook on tumblr. —- Emma's getting married in the morning to someone she's never met — some prince from some rich, powerful kingdom on the other side of the continent — and so she needs to make tonight last. And the foreign pirate who'd shown up to rob her blind at her engagement ball will help her do just that. Captain Swan. Shamelessly, gleefully AU.

Captain Swan one-shot. AU: This is set in Storybrooke, but there was never a curse. No one has a Fairytale Land alter-ego. Emma grew up with her parents normally and never had Henry. Some people's ages are also different. Prompt: Stripper!Killian *NOTE THAT THE RATING HAS CHANGED TO M BECAUSE OF THE ADDITION OF THE PREQUEL*

"How the hell did you get in here! I took away your stupid hook!" Each time Emma tries to throw a certain pirate in jail, she finds him in her living room with a big flirty smile on his face. emma/hook, henry a.u.

Back in Storybrooke, Emma and Hook spend an evening alone during a thunderstorm at a closed Granny's. An evening that Emma won't soon forget. Based on an interpretation of the Katy Perry song, "Wide Awake." *Recommend listening to the song*

AU Captain Swan. Based on the path of the Tarot's Major Arcana. Every journey starts with a single step. Emma never left Killian up the beanstalk, instead, they went back to Storybrooke together. Now Emma's finding herself increasingly drawn to the infuriating pirate captain, and a series of events that neither one of them could have predicted has been set into motion.

(One-Shot). (Future-fic). It's Christmas 2019 and the McNally-Swarek's make their annual pilgrimage to get on Santa's knee. This time around the festive season truly does wave its magic wand, and forgiveness abounds.

Of all the places he could end up, Jeremy is stuck in Bluebell until his car is fixed. While there, he encounters people who tell him the secret of small towns...they have this sneaky way of reeling you in and never letting go. A look at Bluebell eight years in the future.

(Post 3.13). (Multi-chapter). (Complete). Follows the moments and movements of Sam as he comes to terms with Andy's sudden departure. Includes hints to friendships with the ensemble, as well as Sam's love for McNally - and a certain hound named Boo. Minor language and sexual references.

"So, is this your thing?" she asks several seconds later as he gently rotates her foot this way and that. "Rescuing injured teenage girls?" 10 years ago, a rookie Sam met a teenage Andy. Both make a lasting impression on the other. Sam/Andy. Chapter 5 up now. Complete.

Three words. Three bold face but perfectly capitalized and punctuated words. And she was standing in the entry way to a Hartford mansion, wearing none other than the plum vintage cocktail dress she found last weekend.

Wade Kinsella just forgot the last two years of his life, only to be told that he owns a bar, is an upstanding citizen and Zoe Hart is his girlfriend. None of this sits well with him...ok maybe he kind of likes the last part.

Zoe's cousin Tyler makes a trip to Bluebell and it's like deja vu for the town. But while he just might help Zoe to figure out where and who she belongs with, he's also hiding something that maybe only Bluebell can heal.

Post Hot and Bothered: Andy tries to sort things out between her and Sam while still trying to make things work with Luke. But, when she gets caught up in a hostage situation alone, she'll have to make it out alive before she can try and fix everything.

Post 2x13. McSwarek. Ollie finds out about Sam and Andy's secret relationship, and confronts him, leading to several revelations. What happens when Best finds out? Rated T. No longer a oneshot. COMPLETE.

A what-if from 2x02, Might Have Been. Tori catches Andy talking to Sam in the alley behind Vestibule and they have to improvise, changing the dynamic of the conversation later heard by the team in the van.

Traci bails last minute on some well-thought out plans, leaving Andy with no choice but to find someone else to replace her. So, who does she find? None other than a certain dark-haired T.O. of course. Sam/Andy. Set in Season 2. Chap 2, Pt. 2 up. Complete

Andy is a copper who's just trying to a fun night. Sam is the go-to guy waiting for a signal to go ahead on a deal at the same club. Soon wires get crossed in an investigation & lines become blurred as the two deal with struggling emotions. Bad-ass Sam.

After her first shooting Andy's shook up, upset and alone at her place. Sam comes over to comfort her and ends up with more than he could've dreamed of. Alternate ending to eps. "Hot and Bothered". Rated M for a reason people. One-shot turned into more...

'Shaking slightly, Andy McNally knelt to the floor beside the bleeding man in uniform. His green eyes stared straight ahead. The puddle of red wasn't growing any longer. She couldn't think what that meant.' AU, written during season 1, extremely slow burn McSwarek. Considered friendship because the romance takes so long.

With eight months of being a full-fledged cop under her belt and a new partner, Andy feels she can handle anything. But when fate intervenes, she's thrown together with the last person she thought she would ever see again. Sam/Andy, post-finale.

The love affair continues. Sam and Andy have lived together in Sam's home for several months. They are partners working out of Fifteen Division. Sam has asked Andy to marry him. She told him no but still wears his ring. This is Book Two in the Time Series

Started as a one-shot with Sam & Andy bickering over tech & food choices on patrol. Morphed into a love story & an AU scenario where Sam was doing more than pining for Andy after his return to uniform. Good Dov & Traci stuff too. M for sexual slang & some swearing in late Chs. The sex isn't too explicit

This is somewhere in the beginning of Rory's Junior year of college. Logan cheated on Rory again. It's happened before and Rory found out this time she catches him. Rory hides out. Finn is sent to find her. Will Rory and Finn leave town together?

Sam finally takes Andy out on a sort of date which evolves into a long term relationship. This story terminates, after 37 chapters, with a pivotal event. However, their relationship resumes in Book Two of the Time Series entitled 'A Time to Run for Cover.

This story is my fantasy for season 7. What would happen if Finn didn't graduate with Logan and Colin because he was 12 credits short? What if Logan asked Finn to stay in the spare bedroom of his and Rory's apartment? I've never liked Logan. However, if t

It was quite some time after midnight and the city of Toronto was asleep under a thick blanket of newly fallen snow. It would have been a calm and peaceful winter night if it weren't for two lonely figures stumbling down a snow-covered side street.

Sam and Andy respond to a report of an abandoned child, but things start to snowball when a mere abandonment case turns into much more. Things start to go awry for Andy, personally and on the job, and she can't tell if everything can and will be fixed.

Sam's undercover and Andy turns to the one person that she knows will keep her safe, and that she can always trust. But when trouble makes an appearance in her newfound paradise, will Dov be able to keep them both afloat?

Sam and Andy's second undercover assignment spins wildly out of control. Take the M rating seriously! Other than Noelle getting a leadership role and Dov being Dov, this fic is all about finally getting hot, steamy McSwarek sex...in a highly inappropriate setting too. ;)

Ever since her very first day on the job Andy McNally had felt like she was on a rollercoaster speeding out of control. Now it was time to get her feet back on the ground; time to make some rules of her own. Post 1x10 - A/S

Just a short Sam/Andy moment in time. Set after she passes her evaluation. Obviously, I have no claim to the series and I don't know what is in the writer's minds, but here is a thought that crossed mine. Reviews are very appreciated.

PDLD This story starts during Finns party in Pulp Friction . Chapter 18 is FINALLY up, sorry it took so long... “Rory,” he turned to Paris “Bride of Frankenstein, how are you an this lovely day?” CHAPTERS UNDER REVIEW...

Andy is still reeling from Sam's lecture outside the warehouse after the gun bust. Sam walks into the women's locker room and becomes the target of Andy's frustration. A lesson on 'reading the signs' follows.

PDLD A little oneshot that just might become the sequel to ‘Midnight Blue’ you never know! it depends on people responses She found something she wasn’t meant to, now her and Finn go looking for some answers. DISCONTINUED!

That's all for now folk's. PDLD ALL THE WAY! Rory and Finn's life if I had anything to do with it. I'd just like to let anyone waiting for the sequel know that it's very unlikely that I'll actually get to it. Sorry to disappoint.

PDLD! “You know, this is not fair. You leave me here having to deal with all the wedding preparations by myself while you’re enjoying a honeymoon with the hot Aussie in sunny Rio de Janeiro!” Chapter 13!

PDLD: COMPLETE Mom approaches. “Hello Finn.” She says calmly. “We’ll get to the apology at the house.” She turns back to me. “Are you insane? Making out with your new toy in the middle of the town square? Patty nearly had a heart attack!” pls RR!

On the surface, everything looked just as it did for every other takedown they had been involved in. Detailed plans of the location and pictures of the key players all posted on the board. This time though, two pictures stood out amongst the many. A look passed between two officers. The wait was over.

Taking advice from Sam Swarek hadn't really worked out well the last time so why was Oliver willing to chance it again? Maybe a little push from Andy and a reminder that Sam didn't always give bad advice.

Sam & Andy are suspended so what could they possibly be thankful for this year? Traci would have never guessed in a million years. The story is mainly from the POV's of Oliver and Traci, but it is definitely McSwarek centric.

How do you move on after something like that? How do you move forward when you're in uncharted territory and you really have no idea what you're doing? Maybe you ask someone who's been there. Help can come from an unlikely source.

These last few weeks couldn't truly be described as Happy Holidays, and if they were any indication of what was to come, this Christmas did not look like it was going to be Merry or Jolly or anything remotely close to that.
